Fitter. happier. more productive.
Edited on Tue Jul-15-08 12:14 PM by underpants


It is imagined the "Walkstation", seen here, that combines a treadmill and computer workstation will keep offiice health care costs down and improve overall fitness levels
(AFP/Timothy A. Clary)


comfortable,
not drinking too much,
regular exercise at the gym
(3 days a week),
getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries ,


at ease,
eating well

(no more microwave dinners and saturated fats),
a patient better driver,
a safer car
(baby smiling in back seat),
sleeping well
(no bad dreams),
no paranoia,
careful to all animals
(never washing spiders down the plughole),
keep in contact with old friends

(enjoy a drink now and then),
will frequently check credit at
(moral) bank (hole in the wall),
favors for favors,
fond but not in love,
charity standing orders,
on Sundays ring road supermarket
(no killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants),
car wash
(also on Sundays),
no longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows
nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate,
nothing so childish - at a better pace,
slower and more calculated,
no chance of escape,
now self-employed,


http://www.steelcase.com/na/walkstation_products.aspx?f=30670
concerned (but powerless),
an empowered and informed member of society
(pragmatism not idealism),
will not cry in public,
less chance of illness,
tires that grip in the wet
(shot of baby strapped in back seat),
a good memory,
still cries at a good film,
still kisses with saliva,
no longer empty and frantic
like a cat
tied to a stick,
that's driven into
frozen winter shit
(the ability to laugh at weakness),
calm,
fitter,
healthier and more productive
a pig
in a cage
on antibiotics.

Sitness 5 from Topstar turns an exercise ball into a stool.

4. I love your poem. And I'm not a fan of poetry
I feel that it usually has all the artistic integrity as a tool for expression as a Bedazzler does for fashion.

Your poem is one more step on the road to me signing off of this stupid materialistic society. Thank you.

9. If only I had thought of it...brilliant!
le sigh.


What if I told you I'm Phil Selway? Nothing? Good, because I'm really Cristiano Ronaldo, and I don't know why you hate me so much. In fact, it makes me want to :cry: :cry: :cry:

11. The arrogant smirk,
the over-tweezed eyebrows, the diving, the crybaby thing... so many reasons. :)

5. Sitting on a exercise ball is great, but putting feet on it defeats the whole purpose.

8. I do dearly love all things Radiohead and Radiohead-related...
but that might just be the one song I'm the least fond of.

It's too sad. :(

13. I love it
I think it is incredibly insightful into the groupthink of what is normal and how the group says it is okay not to be normal

That whole album-I love it. It is really soothing to me.

Now back to my walkstation I have reports to get out and 2 miles to bust out before I leave

15. Yes... I love all their albums. Every one.
But that song... I don't know... the groupthink just seems so overwhelming.

Don't forget - they really need those TPS reports.

17. New attachment coming soon!
It's called the posterior room cleaner!

Or if I have to walk while I work, just shove a broom up my ass so I can sweep the floor too!!!

No walk, no work.
